But sending text files to Since it's a win printer, you may be out of luck, just like win modems. However, all apsfilter does is arrange to turn things into postscript, then send them through ghostscript telling it to render for your printer, and send the results of *that* to the printer. If ghostscript doesn't recognize your printer, you're going to have problems getting much beyond flat text to print. apsfilter should have used the list of devices from gs to generate a list of printers for you to check from. Did you find your printer, or one you knew it was compatible with? If so, you might try using lpr to get the ghostscript printer driver working. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
